Lefties, it’s our lucky day! Left-handers’ Day is Aug. 13

Never mind it being Friday. Today, Aug. 13, is International Left-handers’ Day.

That’s, er, correct — a day to celebrate being left-handed and to “raise awareness of the everyday issues that lefties face as we live in a world designed for right-handers,” as the official web site explains.

If you say you are left-handed, you are. But www.lefthandersday.com features a test, “How left-handed are you?”

I tried the test in case you don’t want to. How’d I do?

My score came out Seriously left-handed. Really!

Margaret H. Laing

I moved to Chicago from the south suburbs in 1986. I have diverse interests, but I love writing about what I’m interested in. Whether it’s a personal interest or part of my career, the correct words to get the idea across are important to me. I love words and languages — French and Scottish words enrich my American English. My career has included years as a journalist and years working in museums, and the two phases were united by telling stories. I’m serious about words and stories. So here I am, ready to tell stories about words and their languages.
